  1. I don't remember anyone saying that Abe was Boss's only brother - I may be wrong. With regard to great aunt Emma Lou Hogg's will, Boss and Abe were described as "the sole survivors", which implies (to me) that they originally had other siblings.
  2. Sorry I didn't post this line-up last night. A combination of internet problems and wanting to be up early to watch the qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix meant that I didn't have time . Brad Keselowski's run of front row starts has finally come to an end as Kyle Busch claimed pole for the STP 500. Denny Hamlin missed last week's race due to having a sliver of metal in his eye. He was cleared to race on Wednesday and starts tomorrow's race in second. I'm sure Garrett will be happy to see Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon starting in the top five. Danica Patrick also qualified well in 10th. 1 Kyle Busch 2 Denny Hamlin 3 Joey Logano 4 Jimmie Johnson 5 Jeff Gordon 6 Matt Kenseth 7 Tony Stewart 8 Carl Edwards 9 Jamie McMurray 10 Danica Patrick 11 Greg Biffle 12 Clint Bowyer 13 Brian Vickers 14 Brad Keselowski 15 AJ Allmendinger 16 Ryan Newman 17 Marcos Ambrose 18 Kevin Harvick 19 Alex Bowman 20 Aric Almirola 21 Paul Menard 22 Kurt Busch 23 Casey Mears 24 David Ragan 25 Justin Allgaier 26 Dale Earnhardt Jr 27 Kasey Kahne 28 Kyle Larson 29 Travis Kvapil 30 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 31 Martin Truex Jr 32 Michael McDowell 33 Josh Wise 34 Austin Dillon 35 Cole Whitt 36 Landon Cassill 37 David Stremme 38 Ryan Truex 39 David Gilliland 40 Michael Annett 41 Parker Kligerman 42 Reed Sorenson 43 Joe Nemechek Sunday's STP 500 from the Martinsville Speedway starts at 1:00 PM ET, and will be live on Fox.
  3. It's hard to get a good screengrab, but Bo and Luke share a horse in 'Mrs. Rosco P. Coltrane'. After the bad guys cut the brake lines on the General, and Bo crashes it into a hay truck, they borrow Old Man Miller's horse to get back to the farm. (I wouldn't have remembered if I hadn't been watching that episode earlier to get screengrabs for another thread )
  4. Welcome to HNet. If you want a black interior, then do it. General Lee replicas are thin on the ground here in Ireland, and the only one I've ever sat in (a couple of pictures here) had a black interior. I asked the owner about it, and he said he prefered it that way. A few owners try to get every detail right for a particular season, e.g. pushbar size, crossed flags decal, exact model of CB radio etc., but take a look at the parade of General Lees (below) and you'll see variations in color, different wheels and various other differences. Most are made to look like 1969 Chargers, but there are some 1968 and 1970 models in there too. My advice is to go with what you want. BTW, don't forget to post pictures of your build .
  5. While watching 'Mrs. Rosco P. Coltrane' I spotted the quote below: "Remember, you're Dukes first, and you dislike Rosco second."
  6. As far as I can see, there is an "E" at the end of Rosco's name on the door sign throughout his first meeting with Sue Ann Bliss. But a few minutes later when his mama brings his lunch, the "E" has gone. In the second half of the episode, the amount of damage to the front of the General varies quite a bit from scene to scene.
  7. Pictures of their appearances can be found here (scroll down for John).
  8. Cooter's car in 'Duke vs. Duke' is a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle - you can find my Fan Art version here. I'll check out the interior shots. I'll have a look tomorrow and post screengrabs if they're clear enough. I've already posted a couple of screengrabs of this in another thread: A Bad Spell of Jesse!
  9. Hi - I tried to PM you earlier, but you've reached your message limit. Time to clear some out :).

  10. I used Roth's picture to recreate this one. No argument about the location. I know that Cathy also wore that top in 'Baa, Baa White Sheep'.
  11. It's the Hazzard Square Emporium between the telephone company and the post office. I don't remember it lasting too long.
  12. NASCAR is in California this week for the Auto Club 400 from the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. Matt Kenseth grabbed pole after trying out a different line. I caught some of his interview, and I think he said he'd promised to take his crew to In-N-Out Burger if he got the top spot - I'm guessing that he wasn't expecting it to happen. The new qualifying format seems to suit Brad Keselowski, because he starts from the front row for the fourth week running. Just behind them is Jimmie Johnson in third. Obviously I was hoping that Ricky Stenhouse Jr would start higher than 22nd, but he claimed second last week after starting 21st. Garrett, I expect you'd like a race result similar to practice 1: JJ in first with JG in second! 1 Matt Kenseth 2 Brad Keselowski 3 Jimmie Johnson 4 Kevin Harvick 5 Clint Bowyer 6 Jeff Gordon 7 Joey Logano 8 Marcos Ambrose 9 Carl Edwards 10 Tony Stewart 11 Kyle Larson 12 Martin Truex Jr 13 Denny Hamlin 14 Kyle Busch 15 Dale Earnhardt Jr 16 Ryan Newman 17 Kurt Busch 18 AJ Allmendinger 19 Brian Vickers 20 Austin Dillon 21 Aric Almirola 22 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 23 Michael Annett 24 Greg Biffle 25 Jamie McMurray 26 Kasey Kahne 27 Danica Patrick 28 Justin Allgaier 29 David Gilliland 30 Matt Crafton 31 Casey Mears 32 Parker Kligerman 33 David Reutimann 34 Cole Whitt 35 Travis Kvapil 36 Reed Sorenson 37 Brian Scott 38 Josh Wise 39 Ryan Truex 40 Alex Bowman 41 David Ragan 42 Joe Nemechek 43 Landon Cassill The race is on Sunday at 3:00 PM ET on Fox.

    NASCAR news

    Earlier this week, Texas Motor Speedway announced plans to fit the world's largest HD TV on the backstretch of the track. TMS are working with Panasonic to make a screen that's 218 feet long and 94.6 feet wide, or in other words, nearly 12 stories high and almost 21,000 square feet. All being well, it should be ready for the NASCAR weekend in April. I've saved the best bit 'til last - they're calling it "Big Hoss TV" .
  14. I think the one with Black Tilley was 'Werner's Dukes of Hazzard Page', which has also gone. Bill Tilley's page had a orange background. I posted a larger picture of this TV Guide cover on page 38. I played with levels to make this one a bit clearer.
  15. I thought that would be the sign that you were back to normal . I'm glad everything went well for you.
  16. He used to run a very good Dukes site on angelfire.com called 'Tilley's Dukes of Hazzard Website'. It had pictures of a lot of the vehicles from the show, including variations of the Generals used. It also had episode guides, guest stars and many other categories. Sadly, it disappeared a couple of years ago.
  17. You could look for Six Flags Magic Mountain, but I wouldn't go to Santa Clarita on public transport if I were you. You'll need a car to visit all the locations. I did find that MegaBus go from Oakland to Burbank for upwards of $34 each way if you want to visit the WB Studios. It's about six and a half hours each way on the bus. Did you know that the BART line made an appearance on Dukes? It's on the mirrored map they use for Morgan's Airfield in 'Officer Daisy Duke': MaryAnne flipped the map and traced the location to Walnut Creek - see here for more info.
  18. Here's Turk and Moody wearing Boss's masks and wigs to impersonate Bo and Luke when they rob the bank in 'Double Dukes'. That episode also featured another double for one of the show's stars - the General Lee. The General got two doubles in 'Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough' .
  19. Ãdh mór ort! It's St. Patrick's Day, so I went with Irish .
  20. It's a shame you don't drive - you're only five hours away from Santa Clarita (mainly straight down the I-5). A lot of the non-studio scenes were filmed around Santa Clarita and Lake Sherwood.
  21. MeadowMufn was due to have an operation today - you'll have to be patient! The only scene I can find with dialog near to your signature is in 'Jude Emery'. Jude is hidden in the back of the General when Luke discovers a rattlesnake up front. The snake comes out after Snake Harmon's accomplice repeatedly runs into the General. Jude: What's going on? Luke: We got a rattlesnake here in the front. Jude: Don't let him back here. There ain't room. Bo: Luke, you're thinking, ain't you? Luke: Oh, yeah. After a pause ... Luke: They like mice. Bo: Do you have one on you? Luke looks at Jude. Jude: There ain't room for a mouse, either. Bo: Well, think faster.
  22. That was definitely more exciting than the last few weeks, and I'm not normally a big fan of Bristol. I thought Ricky drove a great race today, especially the second half. I was also impressed with Kyle Larson - he probably deserved a few places better than 10th. Kevin Harvick's car was smoking before he hit the wall, and it was something mechanical rather than just a rubbing tire. Martin Truex Jr. was also told by his spotter that his car was smoking (this time it was a tire), but carried on until his tire burst.
  23. Surely they'd only need two or three umbrellas to cover Bristol Motor Speedway - it isn't very big .
  24. What good timing! A rain delay just in time to let me watch the second half of the Top Gear Burma special .
  25. Could your view of the incident be slightly biased? Gordon came out of his pit box and hit the back of David Ragan's car as he was driving by to enter his pit box. I'm not sure what else Ragan could've done.
